Aeroscraft Names Drexel Hamilton to Investment Banking Team for Private Placement of Convertible Preferred Stock Supporting Cargo Airship Fleet Development
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 28, 2014 -- Aeroscraft Corporation (Aeros), a leading FAA-certified lighter-than-air (LTA) manufacturer and technology innovator, today announced an agreement with Drexel Hamilton, a full-service institutional broker-dealer, to join its team of designated investment bankers to solicit institutional investors in its private placement of Convertible Preferred Stock. This offering will support capital requirements for an innovative cargo airship fleet set to deliver new opportunities for commercial and military logistics.
Aeros enjoys an established relationship with the U.S. Military, having received substantial funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Department of Defense for contracts to demonstrate its internal buoyancy management technology, or Control of Static Heaviness (COSH), which permits the Aeroscraft to vertically lift heavy cargo while maintaining independence from infrastructure. As such, Aeros is particularly pleased to work with and support the mission of Drexel Hamilton as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Broker-Dealer.
A full-service institutional Broker-Dealer, Drexel Hamilton was founded on the principle of offering meaningful employment opportunities to military and service-disabled veterans desiring a career in financial services.
“This is a great fit for Aeroscraft. We have great respect for the Drexel Hamilton team and for the service of their many veterans, and think that it is fabulous that they are creating jobs and opportunities on Wall Street for many veterans,” said Igor Pasternak, Founder and CEO of Aeroscraft Corporation.
“We look forward to assisting Aeroscraft in meeting its financial goals and are proud to work with a visionary entrepreneur such as Igor Pasternak as Aeroscraft seeks to revolutionize the transportation & logistics industry with its game-changing technology that enables point-to-point delivery capability around the world free from infrastructure requirements,” commented Roger Elsas, Managing Director for Capital Markets at Drexel Hamilton.
“Many of us at Drexel Hamilton have a clear understanding of the potential benefits the Aeroscraft can prospectively deliver to the US Military and to a wide range of commercial clients around the world,” added Jason Diamond, Managing Director and head of Investment Banking at Drexel Hamilton.
Drexel Hamilton will work with Rainmaker Securities, the Coordinator for Aeros' investment banking group on fleet supporting capital requirements for the Aeroscraft.

About the Aeroscraft: An Aeroscraft is a new type of rigid, variable-buoyancy lighter-than-air vehicle, designed to control lift in all stages of air or ground operations, including the ability to off-load heavy payloads without the need to re-ballast. For the first time in history, an aircraft has been designed to control and adjust buoyant and dynamic lift, creating a new paradigm for global air transportation and logistics. Poised to enhance the air transportation industry, the Aeroscraft will deliver opportunities for business and consumers globally through access to remote locations and by new vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) cargo delivery capabilities. The key features of the Aeroscraft include a rigid structure, vertical takeoff and landing, and operational abilities at low speed, in hover, and from unprepared surfaces.
The Aeroscraft Solution: The Aeroscraft vehicle is a vertical logistical solution to many of the difficulties facing the cargo world today, and is poised to disrupt the current hub-and-spoke distributional model characterized by intermodal cargo transfers and distribution delays. The benefits of the Aeroscraft are expected to be globally transformational and significant to humanity. The Aeroscraft fleet will introduce global point-to-point air cargo delivery services for oversized and overweight project cargos, as well as general cargo, with capability to deliver to virtually any topographical location. The network of globally positioned Aeroscraft vehicles will help take the chain out of the current supply providingAeros’ clients unlimited transcontinental reach.
